After the end of [[The Holy Wilbur-Francis War]] and several minor conflicts, the [[Church of Francis]] and [[The Order of Wilbur]] had entered a relative state of peace. Of course, the Church of Francis itself was not without any conflict: as the anti-[[Lord1]] team [[The Republic]] rose to prominence in the summer of 2020, the Church of Francis found themselves constantly add odds with them, even resulting in a major series of griefs from the COF's own [[Two Words]] and Olgremont to the old Wilburian base [[Stonetown]]. The Francillian-Republican proxy war was largely in place due to the Republic's growing dissatisfaction with the Church of Francis' motivations, and their perception of Lord1 as a power-hungry tyrant. | |||

By fall 2020, things had once again slowed down, but there were still growing tensions amid periods of peace. The [[Battle of Swampland]] was the first major battle between the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis since the Holy War, resulting in a Francillian victory. There were also a string of bases griefed and utterly decimated by the Church of Francis as part of a targeted attack known as "Operation Red Terror", where the bases of "sinners" were griefed. The Church of Francis had also been steadily growing, adding more members to its ranks, and even forming a "Red Empire" that would lay claim to numerous bases across the server. Meanwhile, many other groups on SimPvP were starting to grow weary of what they saw as aggressive recklessness. | |||

The Imperial War is a politically-motivated war fought between two groups: the People's Coalition (a loose collective of several teams) and the Church of Francis. The war began on December 10th, 2020, when the People's Coalition formally declared war on the Church of Francis; this was largely due to their perception of the Church of Francis as an aggressive imperialist threat on SimPvP.
While many have compared the Imperial War to The Holy Wilbur-Francis War, the two are vastly different; whereas the Holy War was a religious quarrel between the Church of Francis and The Order of Wilbur, the Imperial War is far more political in nature, with each member organization of the People's Coalition citing their own reasons for supporting war against the Church of Francis.

History
Pre-War Connotations
After the end of The Holy Wilbur-Francis War and several minor conflicts, the Church of Francis and The Order of Wilbur had entered a relative state of peace. Of course, the Church of Francis itself was not without any conflict: as the anti-Lord1 team The Republic rose to prominence in the summer of 2020, the Church of Francis found themselves constantly add odds with them, even resulting in a major series of griefs from the COF's own Two Words and Olgremont to the old Wilburian base Stonetown. The Francillian-Republican proxy war was largely in place due to the Republic's growing dissatisfaction with the Church of Francis' motivations, and their perception of Lord1 as a power-hungry tyrant.
By fall 2020, things had once again slowed down, but there were still growing tensions amid periods of peace. The Battle of Swampland was the first major battle between the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis since the Holy War, resulting in a Francillian victory. There were also a string of bases griefed and utterly decimated by the Church of Francis as part of a targeted attack known as "Operation Red Terror", where the bases of "sinners" were griefed. The Church of Francis had also been steadily growing, adding more members to its ranks, and even forming a "Red Empire" that would lay claim to numerous bases across the server. Meanwhile, many other groups on SimPvP were starting to grow weary of what they saw as aggressive recklessness.
In early December 2020, tensions soared to an all-time high. On December 4th, AntHand was ambushed and killed by several Francillians in /world; a few days later, on December 7th, Sellout9 and his alt were killed in /world by xexc and Lord1. Enraged by these unwarranted killings, another battle in /world occurred later that same day, with several soon-to-be People's Coalition members meeting a plethora of Francillians on the battlefield in response, forcing them to flee. These battles, coupled with the growing resentment towards the Church of Francis' imperialist endeavors and perceived unwarranted griefings, led numerous anti-Francillians to band together and plan an act of war.
The People's Coalition Declares War
On December 8th, several players opposed to the Church of Francis convened into a group soon to be known as the "People's Coalition", a loose collective of several pre-established teams on the server, all dedicated specifically to waging war against the Church of Francis. These groups included The Order of Wilbur, GS Trading Co., YeeterMyPeeter, Goldforge Citadel, the Order of the Wyvern, and later Shakatak. Originally, TheOnlySlash and Korijenkins had also been involved with the movement, although they were later kicked from the group after a quarrel with Sellout9. As the People's Coalition moved forward with their plans, it appeared that war was inevitable.
